Hi Paul.
I attached the email I sent to you on 11/21 with the draft letter, which needs input from you, as described, before it can be finalized.
Another thing we might want to add to the letter is that, though the email below indicates Kyle DeHart is the new single contact and Britta Herwig will remain PM for Forest Park, Britta is not the PM per the PPA-CO, which was officially amended on 2/13/19 to name Rachel Felice as the PM. We will need clarity on this and likely another amendment. This also pertains to one of the questions for you in the WL – who to address it to?
Let me know your edits and decisions and I can finalize it and get it out.

Alex. I don't think I discussed the parks meeting with you. I',d like to request you finalize the warning letter for sending late this week if possible.

Dale,
Thank you for providing an update regarding future coordination between Portland Parks and DEQ’s Cleanup Program. I think it would be helpful to have a coordination meeting to provide context for Kyle (Welcome Kyle!) and discuss the particular requirements for each Parks property with DEQ Cleanup Program requirements.
I’m attending the National Brownfield Conference this week but would like to coordinate with the parks team on scheduling the coordination meeting when I get back next week. In addition to Kyle and yourself for the South Waterfront Central District Greenway park, please let me know who I should contact to schedule a meeting to discuss The Fields Park site in NW Portland.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Wells-Albers

Subject: Parks/DEQ Update
Hi Rebecca,
I would like to inform you that after internal planning meetings to discuss how Parks can improve our relationship with DEQ, and a meeting with Nina DeConcini and Paul Seidel, Parks will now provide a single point of contact (Kyle DeHart) for all DEQ-related matters with Parks properties. This will include all initial project communication, receipt of invoices, and coordination of monitoring. We will also work on improving communication with the City’s Bureau of Environmental Services who are a regulatory partner on many sites. Kyle will serve as the “gatekeeper” for new or existing DEQ inquiries that may be assigned to Capital Project Managers. For example, I will remain the Project Manager on the South Waterfront RCM Project until the final report is accepted by DEQ, whereas Kyle will be the new contact for ongoing monitoring and any issues. Britta Herwig will remain the Project Manager for the Forest Park - Anderson site.
Kyle has worked in Parks for the last 18 months as our Health, Safety, and Environmental professional and is now a new member on my team focused on environmental compliance related to our physical infrastructure. He can be reached at (503) 502-4534 or Kyle.DeHart@PortlandOregon.gov.
We are confident that this change will be helpful in establishing a more productive relationship with DEQ and reducing response times. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Dale Cook, RLA

Hi Dale,
Thank you for the information regarding the drone photos/survey for CD Greenway.
The upland cap deficiency and questions regarding the vegetation in the beach area remain unresolved (see attached email from October 16, 2019). Please let me know when Parks can conduct the evaluation and provide a response to DEQ.

Hi Rebecca,
I just received the drone photos/survey and the newly placed rock is visible. I forwarded the survey to Rick and he is working on completing the final report which I expect to review in a few weeks.
